Trip to Colorado

Hiii! My summer vacation consisted of exploring the beautiful state of Colorado! Below you'll see pictures of some of the sights that I visited. Colorado is absolutely one of the most beautiful states that I have ever been to! I wish that I could have stayed longer, but I know one day I'll go back to explore some places that I did not get to see along my last visit! Sit back and enjoy my photos! :)

Day Trip to Stone Mountain Park

During this spring break, my sister and I decided to take a local day trip to Stone Mountain Park. Being history and paranormal buffs, we were only interested in visiting the Antebellum Plantation Homes and Farmyard at the park, which are said to be extremely haunted. My favorite paranormal investigators, TAPS, recently visited the park and reported hauntings in the slave quarter shacks and in the Thornton home (the oldest house in Georgia). For more information about their investigation, feel free to check out this video which aired on SYFY (Ghost Hunters) a few weeks ago, and is the ultimate reason why we were motivated to visit the planation homes: http://www.megavideo.com/?v=PSGLZQ50 Although I didn't catch any apparitions, I really found the grounds around the planation park to be very lovely, and the historical information I found on each home was very interesting. :) That said, if you're looking for an easy day trip and you're in Georgia, I suggest checking out Stone Mountain. There are loads of other attractions there that are equally as cool as the Antebellum Plantation Homes and Farmyard--it just happens to be my favorite though! :) Enjoy my pictures!
